RE: [RC] Did you know?? Sunglasses - Stacy Sadar

I ride in the same sun glasses I ride on the motorcyle.  I buy the $10-20 BluBlocker Brand Sunglasses at Walgreens.  They have the kind of brown/gold tint to them.  They not only are great sun protection but they aren't dark in the woods.  They cut the glare of the sun instead of just being dark.  You can easily wear then from the woods to an open field with no change in vision.

This brings up a good subject I have been meaning to pose to RC - what types of sun eye protection do people use and why? I'd like to start riding in shades but wonder what people find are best.

Subject: [RC] Did you know??

Hiya,
I just got back from the eye doctor.  My first consultation for having my eyes fixed.  I am severly near sighted (blind as a bat, yes, legally without lenses) and was hoping to be able to have lasix done. 
Found out that not only am I blind (already knew that) but that I have CATERACTS (OMG) at the age of 38 (GASP!!!)  So I am having the cateracts removed and the new lense implants put in.
To keep this endurance related and the real reason I am posting.... Did you know that sun exposure can cause cateracts, and also cortisone type drugs, steroids, etc.? 
All of us horse addicted people should be wearing sun glass/shades while out enjoying our equine activities.
I had no clue that this could happen.  I have been riding 'forever' and only in the past 5-6 years using sunglasses and/or cap w/visor.
STILL IN SHOCK OVER THIS ONE.
